As you have seen on Facebook and through other posts, Luke and I were chosen through the Standard Examiner, along with 3 other couples, to compete in their Almost Newlywed Game in Ogden. Last night we arrived at 5:45 and checked in the MC. He gave us our posters and markers then asked us to choose what amount of points we think we can get, in case of a tie. We chose 75 points.
Before the game started, the MC asked for four grooms. Luke and 3 other boys were chosen to get on stage and dance. Luke was shaking his booty and doing his thannng and we were all screaming for him, but he got second.
Then, the game began. We were introduced, then the girls were taken back into this room down the hall. The boys were asked 4 questions that they wrote down on their posters and then we all came back and had to answer out loud.
Round One: (5 points each)
How much does your fiance spend on a haircut?
Luke: $50.00
Kylee: $25.00
Is your fiance's car front wheel, rear wheel, or all wheel drive?
Luke: Front
Kylee: Front
Which one of your fiance's friends do you find the most attractive?
Luke: Nathan
Kylee: Nathan
After round one, there were 3 teams at 15 points and one team at 10. Then, it was the girl's turn. They boys left and the girls were asked 5 questions to write down.
Round Two: (10 points each)
What article of clothing of your fiances would you light on fire?
Kylee: Striped Sweatshirt
Luke: My old striped sweatshirt
What's your fiance's dream car?
Kylee: Lambo
Luke: Lamborghini
What habit of your fiance's drives you crazy?
Kylee: When he says, "You know that I...."
Luke: When I fall asleep...
What is the first gift you gave your fiance?
Kylee: Washington T-shirt
Luke: Washington shirt
Final Question: (25 points)
How many shoes does your fiance own?
Kylee: Infinity
Luke: Too many to count...infinite.
There was some controversy over the final question. But I did ask the MC if I could say infinite because I could never count... and he said yes. So when the judges said no, the MC backed us up.
At this point, all four teams had 70 points. So it came down to our guesses in the beginning.
Team 1: (US) 75
Team 2: 45
Team 3: 50
Team 4: 60
Team 2 and Team 3 were dismissed, and it was us and Team 4. Me and the other girl went in the back room and the boys were asked three questions. It was sudden death. So if one team got it right and the other got it wrong then the one that got it wrong immediately lost.
Final Round:
What animal does your mother-in-law remind you of?
Luke: Parrot
Kylee: Parrot
Other guy: Frog
Other girl: Cat
WE WON! I couldn't believe it!
